An investigation on the feasibility of different techniques for providing fresh water to arid regions in the world. Located in a semi-arid zone‚ South Africa is one of the thirty driest countries in the world with limited water resources‚ which are unevenly distributed. In this country‚ five million people of the population have no access to safe drinking water and nearly fifteen million lack basic sanitation. The lack of drinking water is a serious problem‚ since there are more than 1.6 million

environment in Jamaica. After the mining process takes place‚ the residual red mud is dumped into a lake in the highlands of Central Jamaica. However‚ these "red mud lakes" resulted in the percolation of caustic residues (sodium) into the underground aquifers in local areas. The sludge contains high levels of heavy metals and other pollutants. Thus‚ the soil remaining‚ cannot sustain life on it. The environmental impact of Jamaica’s bauxite mining symbolizes the majority of mining or heavy industrial

Some of the water seeps into the earth to underground reservoirs‚ or aquifers (UOD‚ 2004). The rest of the water is runoff‚ and it flows back to the rivers‚ lakes‚ and oceans where it began. Along the way this water picks up minerals from rock and soil and deposits them in these bodies of water. The constant movement of

Currently‚ the Keystone XL pipeline moves through various lands that are environmentally vulnerable like that Sandhills of Nebraska and the Ogallala Aquifer. Environmentalists are concerned about the impact the pipeline would have on these precious sites‚ especially concerning a pipe eruption.
